We're All Mad Here

One of the unexpected parts of becoming a member of Film Independent is that I am a voting member in the Spirit Awards. I am sure I was told that but deep in my work on my own screenplay, I haven’t looked up much in the last eight months. I finished the eleven digital screeners…

Not gonna lie, the past 12 months have been some serious nightmare fuel. Combining that with some rather serious family health issues this last month, I think I have had all I can take. There is no way 2018 can beat me up the same. I can’t let it. I won’t let it. I have…

WOW. What a week its been, huh? I guess you know some folks got upset by your tweet advocating for the change of nature of the president. It seems you also got pretty offended at the idea that people thought you voted for him. In fact, it looks like you have surmised that…

I am not sure how you found me, but pull up, stay a while. I don’t know if I have what you are looking for but I am pretty sure you will find something you didn’t expect. (For real tho…HAHAHA) You can read the “about” or dig around in the topics but here’s a quick…

I typically post this stuff elsewhere but this is something I couldn’t get off my mind since the Op Ed from Erik Prince. Some segments of our society would like you to think that sending mercenaries into Afghanistan equates to privately funded space exploration. They would be wrong. The continued trickle of soldiers and…

We Howl We Roar We shake the trees in thunderous delight We Laugh We Sing We preach from a top the hill all we wish to get right And hobble back to our tiny place The dark and damp quiet place For shrinking back behind the face We Dream We Laugh We leap above the…

Is it possible for a place to call to you? To leave such an indelible imprint in your soul that you choke back tears just thinking about it? #askingforafriend I’m not sure exactly when it happened but I was sucked in by the smell of it. The mist, the grass, the peat smoke, the green…

Organizing for the new year? I know, it seems like it’s a cliche, doesn’t it? All the stores use January to put organizing items on sale but pump the breaks a second. Don’t buy immediately, sort and donate first. Also cliché you say? Well, I’m here to tell you that most Americans have TOO MUCH…

Hey ya’ll! It’s that time of year again. 2016 can suck it, amirite? While I did get to do a lot of cool things, one thing that did not happen was finding time in 2016 for all my intentions, I am keeping it simple: 2017 is all about ME. I can already hear you saying “she will…

I have worked in politics for many years. I used to say, “Please vote, I don’t care who you vote for, but please just vote.” This year is a lot different, they advocate policies that could kill my children. I do want you to just vote but I can’t say I don’t care any more…

This week’s got me like: When I started trying to narrow down exactly what it was, my head kept correcting me. I said “WOW, what a week!” and my head went “You mean, what a month, what a year, what a past few years.” This is exactly why I have self-esteem issues. Let’s ignore for…
